There's a great prize to be won with our new quiz sponsored this week by Dawsons

Once again there is a great prize sponsored by our friends at Dawsons — as long as you can get your trombone thinking caps on.

Mirage trombone package

We have a fantastic Mirage MSL student trombone which comes with a Denis Wick practice mute and Denis Wick harmon mute, a bottle of Yamaha oil/slide degreaser and Brett Baker’s latest CD – ‘Salute to Sousa’!!

It’s the perfect prize for any up and coming young player, with the Mirage highly recommended by teachers and music services as a very good quality beginner trombone.

The medium bore enables younger players to be able to produce a sound easily and is light enough to hold without being fatigued.

Excellently made, it comes complete with mouthpiece and lightweight carrying case and can probably boast to be the most affordable, reliable student trombone available.

All that and you get two brilliant top of the range mutes, a bit of degreaser to help things along, and that Brett Baker CD to inspire you too!

All you have to do is answer the following question

Which of these men was a famous trombonist who went missing in action in the Second World War?4BR
